It was time that I purchased a Flip!! I am SOOOO BAD about bringing my big camera along with me and the only other thing I have is my iPhone....of course, the picture and video quality are SOOOOO BAD! My kids are funny, entertaining and sometimes a bit dramatic so I wanted to make sure all my peeps weren't missing out on the Rosenbaum kids in action! :) Oh, and of course, I am excited about taping Finley's first days!!!

Here is a tester video....First Flip video! I cannot wait to use this little thing!!

So last night (Feb. 3rd) I was feeling this crazy cramping going on. I could not control it....bath, water, stretches....you name it. I went to bed and thought nothing of it. Around 6:30AM I woke up in pain. Not crazy contraction pain but this menstrual-like pain that wrapped around to my back. I got up, had a bowl of Raisin Bran and then fell asleep on the couch.

We all slept in until 9:15AM!! It was heaven except for the lingering pains I was having so we headed over to Memorial Hermann. Poor Allen had to watch the kids and whatnot in the waiting room. Nurses would ask over and over "is someone with you??"...I felt pretty teen-mom-ish so I called Allen in the kids back with me so I could justify my pregnancy! ha!

They did a stress test and of course it was showing mild contractions. I had to drink tons of water and lay there for about 3 hours. NOT FUN! The kids did great and just sat there. Reese would not look at me, touch me, acknowledge me...it was so weird and I guess he is giving us a glimpse of what is to come in 5-6 weeks (hopefully). The noises, the machines, the cords freaked.him.out!!!

Finley looked great, moved great, heart was great!!! As far as I was concerned I could have "peaced out" then since that is all I really cared about! But, NO...more observations. :(

Long story short, I am having "uterine irritations". What the heck is that?? I mean, I have "mommy irritations" everyday but I cannot just press timeout and take a bedrest from life. But, apparently with uterine irritations everything has to be PAUSED until it settles. Furthermore, I am on locked down for the weekend. Temporary bedrest. Boredom. Anxiousness. Bedrest. We will call Monday and see what Dr. Westmoreland wants me to do. I am sure she will say, "you may now get back to your crazy life of photo-shoots, two kids, gymnastics and activities 3 days a week, cleaning, laundry and cooking"...HA! Looks like from here on out I have GOT to take care of myself.

Keep you posted, friends. And pray for my "uterine irritations" as well as all my other daily irritations! :)

I am a proud wife and mother. As I lay my head on my pillow each night I cannot help but laugh at how crazy my life is....but I would not change it for the world. Allen and I adopted the sweetest little girl at the age of 2, Virginia Paige (Ginny) and then, 9 months later had our little monster, Reese Allen. Ginny is the sweetest soul, Mommy's best little friend and Daddy's prize. Reese is Mommy's heartbreaker, Daddy's sports star and sometimes everyone's biggest pest! We are excited to meet Miss Finley Grace on March 15th 2011....just when we thought we were crazy, we get crazier! Photography is my passion, Jesus is my rock, wine is my guilty pleasure, and I love surrounding myself with people that I admire and love!
